The GNU Manifesto (which appears below) was written by Richard Stallman at the beginning of the GNU Project, to ask for participation and support.

The GNU Manifesto

For the first few years, it was updated in minor ways to account for developments, but now it seems best to leave it unchanged as most people have seen it. Since that time, we have learned about certain common misunderstandings that different wording could help avoid. Footnotes added since 1993 help clarify these points.

GNU, which stands for Gnu's Not Unix, is the name for the complete Unix-compatible software system which I am writing so that I can give it away free to everyone who can use it.(1) Several other volunteers are helping me. GNU will be able to run Unix programs, but will not be identical to Unix. Why I Must Write GNU How GNU Will Be Available.

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto. By Eric Hughes Privacy is necessary for an open society in the electronic age.

A Cypherpunk's Manifesto

Privacy is not secrecy. A private matter is something one doesn't want the whole world to know, but a secret matter is something one doesn't want anybody to know. Privacy is the power to selectively reveal oneself to the world. If two parties have some sort of dealings, then each has a memory of their interaction. Since we desire privacy, we must ensure that each party to a transaction have knowledge only of that which is directly necessary for that transaction. Therefore, privacy in an open society requires anonymous transaction systems. Privacy in an open society also requires cryptography. We cannot expect governments, corporations, or other large, faceless organizations to grant us privacy out of their beneficence. We must defend our own privacy if we expect to have any. A Biopunk Manifesto. The following was delivered yesterday at the UCLA Center for Society and Genetics' symposium, "Outlaw Biology?

A Biopunk Manifesto

Public Participation in the Age of Big Bio". It is inspired by, and deliberately follows the form of, "A Cypherpunk Manifesto" by Eric Hughes. Scientific literacy is necessary for a functioning society in the modern age. Scientific literacy is not science education. A person educated in science can understand science; a scientifically literate person can *do* science. Society has made dramatic progress in the last hundred years toward the promotion of education, but at the same time, the prevalence of citizen science has fallen. Research requires tools, and free inquiry requires that access to tools be unfettered.

Perhaps it seems strange that scientists and engineers would seek to involve themselves in the political world -- but biohackers have, by necessity, committed themselves to doing so.
